...State of Denial is that it's "nothing new" and "old news" - the standard damage control response I remember hearing again and again from Clinton flacks during times of trouble in those years. "These are just gossipy snapshots of issues that have been covered ad nauseam," says Dan Bartlett, the President's counselor.
